Open Society Foundations

Open Society Foundations (OSF) is presented as a major philanthropic organization dedicated to advancing human rights, justice, and equitable societies, and building vibrant, inclusive democracies whose governments are accountable to their people. Core areas of focus include rights and dignity, democratic practice, equity in governance, free speech, criminal justice reform, minority and refugee rights, and inclusive economic agendas. The funder explicitly supports civil society, public intellectuals, legal reform, and policy change, frequently applying a systemic, rights-first lens to cross-cutting issues like climate change and economic justice.
